Benedict Cumberbatch recounts robbery and abduction terror
"It gave me a sense of time, but not necessarily a good one," Cumberbatch told Variety in a profile piece published this week. "It made me impatient to live a life less ordinary, and I'm still dealing with that impatience.". The Sherlock Holmes star - then in his early 20s - was filming the BBC's To The Ends of the Earth in South Africa in 2004 when he went on a diving excursion with a group of friends. A tyre blew out on the way home, leading the group to pull over to the side of the road.
